Chapter 49: Thunderstorm Night, Frightened
Xiangying held her down: "Be patient, I will have to help you scrape off the rotten flesh from the outside of the wound later."
Qi Fengyi gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.
"Princess, let's do it."
Xiangying walked around the medical layer of the space without anesthesia.
Then you can only go directly.
She first used saline to wash away the sediment and blood clots inside and outside the wound.
He also took a sharp dagger from the space.
Xiangying cut off the rotten flesh quickly and neatly.
Qi Fengyi didn't have time to cry out the pain, and the worst pain was already over.
Finally, Xiangying applied a thick layer of hemostatic herbs and plasters, as well as crushed anti-inflammatory drugs, and wrapped a bandage around her waist.
When Qi Fengyi was helped out of the forest by Xiangying, he was sweating profusely and his face was pale, as if he had died once.
Early the next morning.
Xiangying prepared breakfast for the three little ones and went to find Xiangli.
Recently, Xianli's legs have improved a lot and I can walk on my own for three or four minutes.
Xiangying told him to move more, otherwise if he kept lying on the wooden cart, even if his leg injury was completely healed, his muscles would atrophy.
Counting the time, Xiangying left for five minutes. Xiangying was worried that he would fall, so she went to look for him in the woods.
Unexpectedly, I happened to see Xiangli carving something on the tree.
Xiangying was startled.
Before she could avoid it, Xiangli had already turned around: "A Ying? Why are you here."
He came limping, leaning on a stick.
Xiangying pretended not to notice what he just did, her eyes twinkling and she smiled slightly.
"I see that my brother has not come back for a long time, so I came to take a look. The exile team will be leaving soon. Let's go."
She stepped forward and supported Xiang Li.
"Worrying you," Xiangli's face was gentle, "My legs have improved a lot. I can stand longer than before. It's all thanks to you."
Xiangying laughed: "How could it be possible that just because of me, Miss Lin has paid a lot more."
While the brother and sister were talking, they bumped into Lin Lingxiang, who also came to look for each other.
"What were your Highnesses talking about just now?"
Xiangying handed Xiangli to Lin Lingxiang for support and joked: "What else can I say? My brother said that you took care of him and did your best. He didn't know how to repay you. I asked him to pledge himself to me."

Xiangli's face turned red: "A Ying!"
Lin Lingxiang also blushed shyly: "Eldest Princess, please stop making fun of me."
Xiang Li's eyes were helpless, and his tone was doting: "Don't listen to my sister's nonsense, she has always been so naughty."
In his tone, Xiangying was like a child.
Lin Lingxiang supported Xiang Li and walked in front. Xiang Ying turned back and glanced coldly at the mark carved on the tree.
The exile team set off.
To Xiangying's surprise, Xie Chen actually accepted her statement.
Instead of taking the Shanyang official road, we chose to go around the mountain road and then take a boat and waterway to enter Luzhou.
In terms of route, it is true that this road can reach the central cities and counties of the Western Zhou Dynasty as soon as possible, and it is also a little closer to South Vietnam.
However, it is difficult to travel by water, especially when there are so many exiled prisoners.
The other two supervisors found Jie Chen and expressed their objections.
"If anything happens on this ship, we are beyond our reach."
Jie Chen calmly wiped his sword and said: "Most of our prisoners are female relatives, so they are easy to manage."
The two supervisors looked at each other: "Even if you may not like to hear it, we still have to say that Xiang Ying is extraordinary."
"She has now won over Qi Fengyi. As far as we know, the Qi family is also famous for their marksmanship."
"She has too many helpers around her, which is a threat in itself to us."
Unexpectedly, Jie Chen put down his sword and said: "I know, so I thought about it in advance. When we take the waterway, let her and her family go on the boat with me, and I will watch her personally."
The two of them were startled: "I hope your decision will not anger the deputy general."
Jie Chen's voice was low: "I will bear any consequences alone."
After that, the two supervisors handed over their hands and left one after the other. It was a scorching afternoon, and the entire exile team paused to rest under the shade of trees in the mountains.
Xiangying went to visit Mr. Lin and mentioned the pie she made.
As soon as he walked over, he heard Mr. Lin pointing at the endless mountains opposite and talking to Lin Lingxiang.
"This mountain seems to be rolling, but in fact it is very regular. The three peaks are continuously connected and look like an incense table. This is called the Santai Case in Feng Shui."
"In addition, there is a large river winding across the river in front, which is called a jade belt around the waist. You have to remember that with terrain like this, there is likely to be a large tomb underneath."
After Xiangying listened next to him, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Mr. Lin is really knowledgeable. He even knows Feng Shui?"
She handed the pie to Lin Lingxiang, and saw Mr. Lin handing it over humbly: "The eldest princess is joking, but the minister only knows a little bit about it."
Xiangying knew that he was being self-effacing.
Each of these ministers who can be admitted to the Qintian Prison must take the fortune-telling test.
In addition to judging the weather and astronomical phenomena, the more important thing is to choose the place, the day and the time. There is a lot of knowledge.
Especially when Mr. Lin reaches the position of Qin Tian Supervisor like this, he must be proficient in everything.
By afternoon, the sky was overcast.
Jie Chen ordered the whole team to speed up and get to the next station before it gets dark and rains.
Xiangying carried the three children to Xiangli's wooden carriage. Qi Fengyi held the horse while she and Taoxue walked.
They walked without any pressure because Xiangying had already prepared thick and soft insoles and kneepads for Taoxue and the others.
The rest of the people were not so lucky and left complaining.
Especially Concubine Shangguan, she is old and can only take three steps to catch her breath.
Soon he fell to the back of the line.
The skinny monkey was unkind and swung his whip: "Hurry up! If you don't leave, you're going to get slapped!"
Concubine Shangguan looked at the concubines who had been crowding around her to please her, and all of them rushed forward.
When everyone can't move, no one will be stupid enough to help her.
Shangguan Taifei gritted her teeth angrily and her triangular eyes drooped fiercely.
At this moment, Xiang Qianqian returned from the front.
"Royal Grandma, I'll carry you!" As she said this, she knelt down.
Concubine Shangguan was a little surprised: "Will this tire you?"
Having said that, she had already fallen on Xiang Qianqian's back. Xiang Qianqian gritted his teeth and stood up, forcing a smile and saying: "I'm not tired."
The concubine Shangguan was quite touched.
She lay on Xiang Qianqian's back and promised: "Qianqian, it's my fault that I didn't take good care of you before."
"Don't worry from now on, as long as I have the Imperial Grandmother for a day, your benefits will be indispensable."
Xiang Qianqian let out a low hum.
When night fell, the mountain breeze dropped a needle-like drizzle, accompanied by muffled thunder.
But before they reached the next station, they could only camp on a slope in the forest.
Avoid being accidentally injured by lightning under trees.
Because it was raining, it was difficult to light the torch, so Xie Chen ordered the military doctor to take out the pungent herbs used to drive away wild animals and put them around.
After Xiangying settled Taoxue and the three children, she went to find Jie Chen, originally wanting to apply medicine to his eyes.
But suddenly there was a thunder above the head, like a purple snake, running through the night sky, and a huge noise came immediately.
The frightened neighing of the horses could be heard from the stagnant grain and grass team behind the team.
Dozens of horses kicked their hooves at the same time, getting restless, and some broke free from their reins, injuring the soldiers who were coming over.
They were afraid that the situation would become chaotic and the horse would rush towards them and injure the child.
So Xiangying turned around to look, and without hesitation went straight to the rear where the food was.
Jie Chen arrived almost at the same time. He had already taken off the cloth in front of his eyes. Now, despite his injuries in the heavy rain, he grabbed the reins of the three horses with his big hands and held them firmly.
Scarface and his men were busy hurriedly, and finally subdued the other horses, but there was a pregnant brown-haired horse galloping forward and neighing, dragging a whole cart of grain and grass.
When Xiangying saw this, she jumped on the horse next to her and went after the brown-mangan horse.
"Xiangying! Come back!" Jie Chen yelled.
Seeing that she had no intention of turning back, Jie Chen decisively grabbed the horse, whipped up and galloped away.
On a thunderstorm day, the two of them were getting farther and farther away on the mountain road.
